Electric motorcycles and scooters are indeed gaining popularity at an unprecedented rate in Europe and Asia. Many manufacturers are putting sustainability and environmental awareness at the forefront of their concerns, but the reality is that only a few manufacturers are truly taking steps to deviate from the norm of mass production, which typically generates a lot of waste.
One of these companies is Naon, based in Berlin, an electric start-up that has already revealed its prototype, the Zero-One. The company focuses on three main aspects: functionality, aesthetics, and local production, employing its workforce entirely in Germany and producing its products with materials sourced from the country. In fact, Naon has managed to take some steps forward in the development of its first scooter, as it has now unveiled what appears to be a model ready for production, called Lucy.
Other developments of Lucy regarding the Zero-One concept include larger wheels, a new single-sided swingarm, a fork, and a shock absorber. Overall, the scooter’s style is very simple and minimalist, fitting perfectly into the sleek and sophisticated technology that has become practically omnipresent in the modern era. Additionally, the battery mounted on the bottom means the scooter is stable due to a low center of gravity and does not compromise storage space under the seat.
